This has everything you mentioned with the exception of X:

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/

Yes, that _is_ the right url.  It's a free download.  It's posix.  It's not 
bad.  It's more "unix-like" as opposed to "linux-like".  Pkgsrc even supports 
it!

And then theres this:

http://www.colinux.org/

And if you look on the official cygwin site, you can download it, and all of 
its packages straight off the ftps:

http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html

Its messier than the standard install, but it is absolutely possible to 
download all of these on another machine, and then boot into windows doing 
the install all locally.
